There might actually be a few of these people, but not very many. They would have to have be completely out of touch with every form of media for the last year. RHD The only people who would buy this would be those convinced by a website that they are great, and order one sight-unseen.On your information, I will avoid renting Teslas. I love my '08 Civic (stick), and it feels just as responsive as when I bought it 11 years ago with 35k on the clock (now 151k), and barring mishaps, I plan to keep it for the next 25 years or so, which would put me into my mid-90s, assuming I live that long. Stuart de Baker This is very interesting information.It certainly looks impractical for both snowy and hot sunny weather. I'll wait until a definitive headline comes out, and I'll be surprised if Tesla actually produces the Cybertruck. Stuart de Baker I didn't bother to read this article.Kwik_Shift I was a GM fan boy until it ended in 2013 when I traded in my Avalanche to go over to Nissan.My opinions on gm have changed since 20 and now I really don't care if gm survives or not. At the time of Farago's article I was in favor of the Government bailout more to save jobs and suppliers but today I would not be in favor of the bailout. Making gm a more attractive takeover target and cut costs at the expense of more desirable and reliable products. I doubt gm lacks funds as it did in 2008 and that they have more than enough cash at hand but gm will not expand as it did in the past and the emphasis is more on profitability and cutting costs to the bone. Jeff S I don't believe gm will die but that it will continue to shrink in product and market share and it will probably be acquired by a foreign manufacturer.There’s also a system that uses cameras to keep track of what’s happening in the rear seats. To that end, not only is Honda Sensing (adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, collision-mitigation braking with pedestrian detection, traffic-sign recognition, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and road-departure mitigation) standard, but so is a rear-seat reminder. Safety matters in just about every segment, but it’s often top of mind for parents, and minivans are obviously thought of as family vehicles. This is the minivan for the Accord owner who reluctantly went in search of more space/utility. It offers adequate thrust for urban driving, and the ride is acceptably compliant, though it may be too firm for some tastes. It’s better than the unremarkable competency of the Chrysler. I’d probably stop short of saying it’s fun to drive, but it’s as entertaining to wheel as minivan can be. Let’s be clear upfront: No minivan will truly be on par with, say, a sports sedan, but the Odyssey is as engaging as these people-movers come. Given how the market has gone bananas between the time of my loan and the time I write this, that $47k almost sounds reasonable. Eye-watering pricing, perhaps, but then again the average transaction price is now over $41K. Pricing starts at $31,790 for the LX, while an Elite like my tester starts at $47,820. The trim walk remains the same – LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite. The Odyssey doesn’t take much of a journey into the unknown for 2021 – the changes amount to mildly refreshed styling and the addition of Honda Sensing, the company’s suite of driver’s-aid features, as standard. And Honda’s Odyssey is more engaging than the Chrysler. But that’s not always the case – Chrysler’s Pacifica Hybrid (review forthcoming) isn’t a chore to drive. Regardless of why one buys a minivan, he or she probably anticipates that the driving experience will be far from fun. Others do so for the utility – coolness be damned. Life circumstances force some folks to buy minivans.
